Chefs For A Night
Will prepare great meal for money: Woodside High staff

ad it been fluent in the banter of the kitchen, a fly on the wall of Woodside resident Leslie Ballinger's kitchen would have remarked on the collegiality among the chef-like humans arrayed around the freestanding counter, their heads bent and their hands engaged as they quietly discussed meal preparation. steamed summer squash; plus luxurious desserts. Easy to say, but try making it when your day job involves not cuisine, but education, and your expectant diners have paid $335 each. They pulled it off in style, and Woodside High School was $3,500 richer: The meal had been bid for and purchased at the annual Woodside High School Foundation auction. The cook-off pitted high school administrators against teachers. The guests enjoyed an extraordinary meal -- this reporter can vouch for that -- and the chefs earned rewards that were less tangible, as is often the case with educators.
David Reilly, top, principal of Woodside High School, raised money for the school by standing in as chef for 11 paying guests at the Woodside home of Leslie and Douglas Ballinger. The tropical meal, above, joined barbecued jerk chicken and pineapple with a Shirazi tomato-and-cucumber salad in red cabbage leaf and coconut rice on banana leaf.
Such subdued tones would have bewildered the fly. This was a cooking competition! Where was the elbowing? Why were sauce pots not being hoarded? Instead, a kind of grace prevailed among the two men and four women teamed three-on-three to vie for the good opinions of 11 guests -- five couples plus one -- who had gathered on Friday, Sept. 18, for a singular meal at two tables set up in Ms. Ballinger's living room. On the evening's menu: appetizers consisting of two varieties of empanada and three of bruschetta; an entree of barbecued jerk chicken with coconut rice and a Middle Eastern salad; an entree of pan-fried herbed salmon fillet with mashed potatoes, baby carrots and
WHIP THOSE POTATOES
The administrative team of Woodside High School Principal David Reilly, his wife Sandy Reilly, and Instructional Vice Principal Diane Mazzei had an arguably easier time of it preparing bruschetta than their opponents had with their empanadas, though both are peasant-style dishes. Bruschetta is as simple as a baguette sliced, toasted, blessed with olive oil and/or garlic, and finished with a combination of toppings, which is where the inspiration comes in. The toppings experienced that night were prosciutto and fig on cream cheese; brie with apple slices; and gorgonzola

and honey, a combination that defies both explanation and adequate superlatives. The excellent salmon and mashed potatoes betrayed nothing of the urgent machinations behind their debut on the plate. Unknown to Mr. Reilly until he unwrapped it, the salmon had bones left in. Mr. Reilly and his wife Sandy, with three-month old Kai sleeping in her front-loaded papoose, spent about 20 minutes searching for and removing the fine bones with a borrowed pair of needlenose pliers. As for the potatoes, Mr. Reilly and Ms. Mazzei did succeed in piping them into decorative beds for the salmon but, being new to it and using makeshift plastic piping bags, they split one bag after another as lumps blocked the nozzle. "Those mashed potatoes have to be really finely whipped (to remove even) the slightest lump," Mr. Reilly said in an interview. Ms. Mazzei tied baby carrots in bundles with room-temperature but uncooperative green onion stems. The dessert of cream-filled puff pastries appeared to go off without a hitch once the team arrived at a way to dust them with powdered sugar. The evening, Ms. Mazzei said, was "quite an experience" and "fun." The biggest challenge, she said, was keeping food hot after the guests delayed their seating time.
TRAINING IS KEY
The empanada, a baked filled pastry, is lovely to look at, inviting to hold, and a pleasure to eat, particularly on this evening with a choice of meat-filled and vegetarian. Making an empanada is easy if, like Woodside math teacher Josh Rubin, you've had eight years of occasional practice under the eye of an aunt who's an old hand at it. "I get a lot of training every year," he said in an interview. "The problem is that you can never make enough." In the kitchen that night, he went over the basics with his team, English teachers Nicole Taylor and Jessica Cuillier. By tradition, the empanada filling is recognized by the crimp pattern. Making unique and consistent crimped edges "has taken a lot of time to master," Mr. Rubin noted to the

assembled guests after dinner. Ms. Cuillier, whose teaching and cooking careers are just starting, said she used the evening to learn by watching. The teachers' dessert, Part 1, was creme brulee. Mr. Rubin dusted the tops of the custard with sugar, poured off the excess and gently torched the remaining crystals to brown perfection. Or not. The dessert was in need of a "buttery fat residue," one guest with a French
accent noted, then added, "It's a very hard thing to do." The criticism was welcome. "It's not every day that you hear `No, it wasn't that great,'" Mr. Rubin told The Almanac lightheartedly. "Here I've been thinking that (my creme brulee) was the best thing since sliced bread." Dessert, Part 2, was a peerless chocolate torte made with raspberry liqueur, whipped cream and berries, Ms. Taylor's specialty. "Oh, it's so good," she said in an interview.
She is the real deal, having entered dessert competitions and won, she said. The evening's master of ceremonies, PTSA President Brian Murphy, called the torte "a chocolate cake that can make a pregnant woman deliver." The teachers missed one beat when raw rice mistakenly went into a pan containing cooking oil, but a rinse of the rice put things back on track.

By Yvonne Tally
FORECLOSURE PREVENTION PROGRAM

to your ere it HEALTH comes -- the Yvonne Tally of Menlo Park six weeks of the is a food coach, year when we certified nutrition traverse our way specialist, through the slipprofessional private chef, pery slopes of Pilates trainer, Tahoe as much and co-owner of as we do the Poised, a personal training and wholebuffet-bulging, life consulting company in Menlo Park. mid-drifting, calorie-counting holiday season. Oversized Santa cookies crowd the checkout stands at grocery stores well before front porch pumpkins are given their pink slips. Festive food is everywhere, and on everyone's mind. Even Starbucks has a holiday menu of gingerbread lattes and peppermint mochas -- enticing us to U-turn in the middle of Avy and the Alameda for one of these grab-and-go seasonal treats. Just walking past the dessert counter at Draeger's, abundantly filled with Yule logs and pumpkin pies, I am overtaken by my urge to spend a noticeably exaggerated amount of time in front of the free samples, nibbling myself into a new dress size. The holidays are here. However, there is nothing more un-holidayish than standing in the kitchen in my cooking flats instead of my cute high-heels, perspiring over the hand-whipped mashed potatoes with a 375degree oven at my thighs. Instead, the holiday vision dancing through my head is that of a kir royale in one hand and a smoked salmon and creme fraiche crostini in the other while the pork tenderloin rests in the kitchen and I do the same in the living room with my friends and family -- a guest at my own party. With the local markets full of fresh fennel, pomegranates, persimmons, and crisp apples, there is no need to sacrifice taste or your waistline. Advance preparation is the key to enjoying your guests and merry soirees. Marinate and roast your main dishes for ease and big flavor. Steam your veggies the day before and
serve with a pesto of any kind for an unexpected pop. Squash and sweet potatoes don't need to be gooped with marshmallows and sugar to taste fantastic. Instead, use dried herbs with butter and olive oil, then slow roast. For dessert, I poach fruits such as pears, apples, and quince in late-harvest wine and serve with a quick fruit syrup and big scoop of French vanilla ice cream. Easy, economical, and possible without hassle, and while holding a glass of bubbly. Enjoy!
Late Harvest Wine-Poached Pears with Persimmon Syrup
Serves 6 6 Seckel pears (small variety, or use small bosc pears) 2 cups late-harvest sauvignon blanc or late harvest chardonnay wine 2 cups water 6 juniper berries, whole Pears: Peel pears from top to bottom, leaving a strip of peel in between each peeled skin. Place all remaining ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a lively simmer. Add pears and cover. Poach until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove pears and reduce liquid until a syrup consistency. Reserve. Syrup 2 ripe persimmons - must be very ripe or the taste will be chalky 1 cup sugar 1 cup water Syrup: Peel and chop persimmon. Combine in a pot with sugar and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it has a thick consistency. Let cool and puree. Finishing touch 3 oz. each dark chocolate and white chocolate, shaved (buy in one large bar) Serve pears with vanilla ice cream and shaved chocolates, and drizzle with both syrups.

Ms. Goldberg's Bart Simpson was spinning on a barrel full of candy, based on an episode of the show, she said after the challenge aired. (Contestants are sworn to secrecy before the program airs on Sunday nights.) "I had a crazy good time doing this cake!" she said. Her surprise assistant for the day was Andrew Blumberg, "a self-proclaimed Simpsons Superfan," she said. This was Ms. Goldberg's second appearance on the show. For the first, which aired in June, she and her assistant, Arlene Freeman, competed with a creation based on Princess Fiona, the ogre princess from the book "Shrek," by Willian Steig.
The Housing Division of the City of Menlo Park is requesting written statements of qualifications from qualified realtors in an effort to identify an agent to represent the City in the purchase of foreclosed homes for the City's Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The program will identify foreclosed properties for sale in the city where the cost of acquisition fits within the program budget, purchase appropriate homes, develop a complete scope of work for rehabilitation of the homes, and resell the finished homes to eligible households on the BMR wait list. The program will target households earning between 60 and 110 percent of the area median income (AMI). Responses are due no later than Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. For a copy of the RFQ or if you have any questions during the preparation of your proposal, please contact Douglas Frederick, Ph.D., Housing Manager, by phone at (650) 330-6724 or by email at dwfrederick@menlopark.org.
